Distributed web3 infrastructure startup ThirdFi has raised $2 million in token funding backed by Chainlink, Techstars, and others.
Founded in 2022, ThirdFi boasts a user base exceeding 170,000, facilitating more than $46 million in mainnet and layer-2 transactions through partnerships with over 50 web3 communities and protocols.
For Chainlink, the investment marks a continuation of their support following ThirdFi’s participation in the Chainlink BUILD program, an initiative aimed to enhance the Chainlink network by providing participants with priority technical support and access to new services, reinforcing cryptoeconomic security through incentivized fees for Chainlink service providers.
In addition to Chainlink, ThirdFi offers API products across multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Polygon, BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain), Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Optimism, with plans to integrate Solana, zkSync, and Base in the near future. While the firm has not disclosed a specific timeline for its token launch, the rollout might happen somewhat in Q3 pending audits.
